So shot 100 rounds of some 125gr LRN in my 9mm today. Used 5.7g of AA #5. Got home, ran some CLP down the bore, waited a couple minutes, then cleaned with Chore Boy maybe 8 strokes. Swabbed it clean, then looked down the barrel - saw faint streaks on lands & grooves, maybe 20% of surface. Didn't look like any "buildup", just "streaky", not shiny smooth. Gave it another few minutes of CLP, another good CB scrubbing, checked, and though almost gone, there were still sections of streaking, but pretty faint. In neither case did it look like there was any measurable depth of leading.
Would you call this normal, light, or "don't be so anal" amounts of leading? Interested in some frame of reference... mostly so I know how my load + lead boolits are doing in comparison to others.
Pretty obvious now where some shooter's smoke comes from......
Oh yeah, what;s your favorite lead cleaning chemical?
